A dynamical model of global cortical network, with symmetrical connectivity based on human diffusion-tensor imaging data, and using a local circuit model adopted from N. Brunel and X.-J. Wang (J Comput Neurosci 2001). The interareal projections are assumed to be only between pyramidal neurons, the long-range excitation is compensated through adjusting the strength of local inhibitory connections. The model behavior is most similar to human fMRI data at the edge of a bifurcation for multistability.
