-A subgraph must be statistically significant over a randomly connected graph to be considered a network motif of a given network. One metric for determining a subgraph’s statistical significance is its z-score when compared to randomly connected graphs.

 Network motifs have been shown to be indicative of network functionality in control systems [[2]](#2). Quatifiying the distribution of the network motifs of a sparse neural network trained for a control task (i.e., insect flight) may give us insight to the network substructures necessary for biological control tasks.
