A recent paper describes an ambitious large-scale brain model having 
multicompartmental spiking neurons, dendritic STDP, 6-layer cortical 
microcircuitry, and human brain anatomy (using DTI fibertracking).

The paper is available at the PNAS site
http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/0712231105v1
or
http://www.izhikevich.com
which also shows a movie (158MB) of spiking activity of the model.
