Alright. thank your for the clarification. I was under the impresion that muscles only needed electricity to move, but I'm not sure why I thought this. After muscles are composed of cells just like any other tissue so they need oxygen in order to carry out their metabolic processes. Well back to the drawing board. What about a parasite or virus that caused evelvated levels of testosterome, an exellarated metabolism, dialated pupils (sensitivity to light) raised aggression, resistance to pain, and a lack of higher mental computation. Plausible?

What if a zombie literally was the living dead. For example a zombie infects a normal person by biting them. The virus or parasite then somehow bypasses the blood brain barrier and gets control of the persons central nervous system. The person then enters a highly aggressive state and has lost all control of motor abilities and higher thought aswell as complete failiure of internal organs. The person's body would then start to decay with an absense of an immune system but the parisite would remain in control by sending electrical impluses to the muscles so the zombie would continue to move so that it could infect people. The cycle then repeats. Is this scientifically plausible?
