What happens if you break a zombies neck?

[N1x0n's B4ck]

In The Walking Dead, a zombies brain must be destroyed or severely damage for it to actually die, thus hitting it anywhere else does nothing other than slow it down.

However, for years I have been curious as to what exactly would happen if you were to snap a zombies neck. It's not technically destroying its brain, however I've done some research on neck breaking and apparently it has something to do with your spine being directly connected to your brain, which could possibly indicate that it does actually damage the brain.

So, considering that, what exactly would happen if one were to break its neck? Would it die? Do nothing? It's quite unclear.

DISCLAIMER: I am strictly talking about the zombies from The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead, so please do not use something like the neck breaker from Dying Light as a reference, as those zombies are far different.

if a zombie is controlled by a fungus a bottle of mold control should be enough.

Notice how I said Walking Dead zombies.

i got the feeling z nation was involved. ;)

It's the Walking Dead...

They don't need to shoot a zombie in the head...

The survivors are too busy being overly dramatic and talking for multiple episodes...

I'm surprised the zombies don't shoot themselves out of boredom from lack of action.

The walking Dead zombies are in fact actually George Romero zombies. Exact same rules, exact same cause which is the hell if we know, and exact way of dispatching.

George Romero zombies, breaking thr neck doesn't actually do anything, aside from turning the zombie into a quadriplegic.

But then we got return of the living Dead zombies from Jorge Ramirez old partner. Nothing you can do short of burning them to a crisp will stop them. They even drive a pickaxe through one's head nailing it to the floor and it's just upset. They can also talk.

I prefer vampires, myself.

It’s not stupid at all. In the Animal kingdom, there is a parasite that invades the brains of insects and causes them to abandon the colony and devote itself to the parasite. Ants and ladybugs are just two insects that are known to fall victim to this awful fate. There are many bugs that can become infected.

The plot for Last Of Us was actually taken from this as to if it could happen to Humans.

they do not "mind control" they release chemicals that allow the host to do certain thing's not really classified "zombie" like being death so no chemical reaction to move muscle or have brain activities
which request electronic pulses which only works in active Neurons

if you brain death you gonner for good no virus, advanced tech or mirical will activate repair damaged nerons and even if they get it active again it's Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta waves are gone which is your conciseness

Umm what ? The mind control theme was just the title. Infected creatures are very much like zombies, they are controlled by a parasite and they will abandon normal society to dedicate itself to the host.

Isn't that parasite a fungus, living in their brain. They climb up high, bite on a leaf, grow the actual mushroom out of there heads and it sends out millions of new spore.

Kind of zombie but not attacking their own kind directly.

Nothing.

Now its just easier for the zombie to bite you since you are closer.

[Michu]

Well he/she wouldn't be able to walk anymore as the neck is connected to the spine and you need those two together in order to move your body. His head however (as seen in the show) would still move and do... zombie things though.
