+
+    Create a Jansen Rit blox as described in Liu et al.
+    The formal definition of this blox is:
+
+```math
+\\frac{dx}{dt} = y-\\frac{2}{\\tau}x
+\\frac{dy}{dt} = -\\frac{x}{\\tau^2} + \\frac{H}{\\tau} [\\frac{2\\lambda}{1+\\text{exp}(-r*\\sum{jcn})} - \\lambda]
+```
+
+where ``jcn`` is any input to the blox.
+
+Arguments:
+- name: Name given to ODESystem object within the blox.
+- namespace: Additional namespace above name if needed for inheritance.
+- τ: Time constant. This is changed from the original source as the time constant was in seconds, while all our blocks are in milliseconds.
+- H: See equation for use.
+- λ: See equation for use.
+- r: See equation for use.
+- cortical: Boolean to determine whether to use cortical or subcortical parameters. Specifying any of the parameters above will override this.
