The presence of the FOXP2 gene in mice, which is also associated with language in humans, suggests that some causes of language impairments are domain-general, meaning they are not specific to language alone but may affect multiple cognitive domains. This is because mice do not have language in the same way humans do, indicating that the gene's functions can be broader than just language.
