Author here -- so actually we've done a fair bit of anatomical work recovering motifs, even while looking at the processor [1] -- we took that out of this paper based on several readers' recommendation that the content was "too new" and that people wouldn't understand it. That said, without the ability to then directly probe those specific circuits, it's quite hard to figure out what the motifs are doing, and motif finding in general is an incredibly challenging problem, especially at scale.
