Two-state dynamic causal model of the frontostriatal network. Each region comprises one population of excitatory neurons (E) and one population of inhibitory neurons (I). Parameters of effective connectivity represent the influence of inhibitory to excitatory connections (IE, assumed to be GABAergic neurons), the influence of excitatory to inhibitory connections (EI), the influence of self-inhibitory connections within each population (SE, SI), and the influence of excitatory population of one region on the excitatory population of the other region (EE, assumed to be glutamatergic connections). Whereas EI, SE, and SI parameters are fixed in the model, IE and EE are free to vary, evaluated parameters
