[[File:DCM for fMRI.svg|alt=DCM for fMRI neural circuit|thumb|The neural model in DCM for fMRI. z1 and z2 are the mean level of activity in each region. Parameters A are the effective connectivity, B is the modulation of connectivity by a specific experimental condition and C is the driving input. ]]

The neural model in DCM for fMRI uses [[Taylor series|Taylor approximation]] to capture the gross causal causal influences between brain regions and their change due to experimental inputs (see picture). This is coupled with a detailed biophysical model of the generation of the BOLD response and the MRI signal, based on the Balloon model of Buxton et al.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Buxton|first=Richard B.|last2=Wong|first2=Eric C.|last3=Frank|first3=Lawrence R.|date=1998-06|title=Dynamics of blood flow and oxygenation changes during brain activation: The balloon model|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mrm.1910390602|journal=Magnetic Resonance in Medicine|volume=39|issue=6|pages=855–864|doi=10.1002/mrm.1910390602|issn=0740-3194}}</ref> and extended for use in DCM for fMRI <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Friston|first=K.J.|last2=Mechelli|first2=A.|last3=Turner|first3=R.|last4=Price|first4=C.J.|date=2000-10|title=Nonlinear Responses in fMRI: The Balloon Model, Volterra Kernels, and Other Hemodynamics|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1006/nimg.2000.0630|journal=NeuroImage|volume=12|issue=4|pages=466–477|doi=10.1006/nimg.2000.0630|issn=1053-8119}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Stephan|first=Klaas Enno|last2=Weiskopf|first2=Nikolaus|last3=Drysdale|first3=Peter M.|last4=Robinson|first4=Peter A.|last5=Friston|first5=Karl J.|date=2007-11|title=Comparing hemodynamic models with DCM|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2007.07.040|journal=NeuroImage|volume=38|issue=3|pages=387–401|doi=10.1016/j.neuroimage.2007.07.040|issn=1053-8119}}</ref>.

Support for resting state analysis was first introduced in Stochastic DCM<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2011-09-15|title=Generalised filtering and stochastic DCM for fMRI|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811911001406|journal=NeuroImage|language=en|volume=58|issue=2|pages=442–457|doi=10.1016/j.neuroimage.2011.01.085|issn=1053-8119}}</ref>, which estimates both neural fluctuations and connectivity parameters in the time ___domain using a procedure called [[Generalized filtering|Generalized Filtering]]. A faster and more accurate solution for resting state data was introduced which operates in the frequency ___domain, called DCM for Cross-Spectral Densities (CSD) <ref>{{Cite journal|last=Friston|first=Karl J.|last2=Kahan|first2=Joshua|last3=Biswal|first3=Bharat|last4=Razi|first4=Adeel|date=2014-07|title=A DCM for resting state fMRI|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2013.12.009|journal=NeuroImage|volume=94|pages=396–407|doi=10.1016/j.neuroimage.2013.12.009|issn=1053-8119}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Razi|first=Adeel|last2=Kahan|first2=Joshua|last3=Rees|first3=Geraint|last4=Friston|first4=Karl J.|date=2015-02|title=Construct validation of a DCM for resting state fMRI|url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2014.11.027|journal=NeuroImage|volume=106|pages=1–14|doi=10.1016/j.neuroimage.2014.11.027|issn=1053-8119|pmc=PMC4295921|pmid=25463471}}</ref>. Both of these can be applied to large-scale brain networks by using priors based on functional connectivity<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Seghier|first=Mohamed L.|last2=Friston|first2=Karl J.|date=2013-03|title=Network discovery with large DCMs|url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2012.12.005|journal=NeuroImage|volume=68|pages=181–191|doi=10.1016/j.neuroimage.2012.12.005|issn=1053-8119|pmc=PMC3566585|pmid=23246991}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Razi|first=Adeel|last2=Seghier|first2=Mohamed L.|last3=Zhou|first3=Yuan|last4=McColgan|first4=Peter|last5=Zeidman|first5=Peter|last6=Park|first6=Hae-Jeong|last7=Sporns|first7=Olaf|last8=Rees|first8=Geraint|last9=Friston|first9=Karl J.|date=2017-10|title=Large-scale DCMs for resting-state fMRI|url=https://doi.org/10.1162/NETN_a_00015|journal=Network Neuroscience|language=en|volume=1|issue=3|pages=222–241|doi=10.1162/netn_a_00015|issn=2472-1751|pmc=PMC5796644|pmid=29400357}}</ref>. Another recent development for resting state analysis is Regression DCM<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Frässle|first=Stefan|last2=Lomakina|first2=Ekaterina I.|last3=Razi|first3=Adeel|last4=Friston|first4=Karl J.|last5=Buhmann|first5=Joachim M.|last6=Stephan|first6=Klaas E.|date=2017-07|title=Regression DCM for fMRI|url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.02.090|journal=NeuroImage|volume=155|pages=406–421|doi=10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.02.090|issn=1053-8119}}</ref> implemented in the Tapas software collection (see [[#Software implementations|Software implementations]]). Regression DCM operates in the frequency ___domain, but linearizes the model under certain simplifications, such as having a fixed (canonical) haemodynamic response function. The enables rapid estimation as a [[General linear model|General Linear Model]], enabling application to large-scale brain networks.
