I understand these can be fairly large and the wood joinery of the connections is quite exquisite. Some of these structures have existed for centuries in a high seismic area. Has there ever been a study of these connections with their respect to their resistance to seismic events?

Yes. I've seen a few floating around - maybe in Structure? If I come across one I'll get it to you.
