What role would the brain have in motivating a reanimated corpse? Surely the brain would be long dead, and thus have nothing to do with motor function any more?

Then where would the motor functions come from?
Good point though; have wondered about this for a long time. But really, if it is a reanimated corpse, the brain should be reanimated as well, otherwise it would just lie there and die again, as the brain doesn't tell the chest to breathe, the heart to pump, etc...
Now if it's a clinically reanimated corpse, the brain should be working, in which case it is logical to shoot either the head, or the heart, as you would with anyone (leaving the close-combat fancy tricks to kill someone behind here, they're really something I shouldn't be sharing)
If we're talking a "Resident Evil"-virus infested zombie... really, what use is it really to fight unless you can incinerate it right away? You've no chance of winning otherwise. Unless the virus only nests in the brain to take over the motoric functions, instead of infesting the entire body.

Well in most Zombie movies there was abnormal electric activity in the brain, which made the body think that the brain was still alive. The electric signals were shotting in every direction causing reanimation of the corpse, in theory this would be near impossible, because if you think about it the electic signals could simulate a simple muscle lift, then might cause a back jolt forward. I doubt that would help sustain posture, let alone leg movement. Resident Evil for PS really went in to detail about how the zombies were still alive in that series.
A shot to the head disrupts this electric activity causing it to no longer send iradic signals to body parts

think you watch too many films mate.
but if thats true you should have your answer because some films try to explain the reanimation of dead flesh.
could it be something to do with the motor function of the brain and the need to live.

If the brain is destroyed, so is the solunum virus. So the zombie goes back to being a corpse.

It's perfectly logical. Simply, you need a brain to survive, living or dead. The brain is the root of all activities of zombies, moving, moaning, eating.

Zombies are a breed all their own.
Their one mind set it to bite and exterminate humans.
If you can put a slug in their head,they say 'Screw that nonsense" and avoid you,then they look for someone more vulnerable.So there!

I think it was that the primitive brain we all have was the one that brought them back.
