o3o Nerves and Zombies

I was just randomly wondering, I know a zombie can't feel any pain.

But if you shatter the spine at the back of the neck, would that still paralize them? It would to a human.

Pain is one thing, motor control is another.

If a zombie's arm gets chopped off, the arm is gone. IT doesn't feel pain and keeps coming at you, but the arm doesn't regenerate or anything.

So if the spine is shattered, the spine is pretty much useless. This doesn't mean the brain is outta commision, though.
