Defect: Slow moving zombies
Cause: Damage to the cerebellum, zombies exhibit sever ataxia and thus will be slow and uncoordinated.
Out-run them!
Defect: Amnesia
Cause: Lose of the hippocampus has caused the zombie to have very short memory spans. Take advantage of this by hiding.
Keep quiet, wait it out!
Defect: Immunity to pain
Cause: Due to damage to the parietal cortices, zombies can't feel pain; if you can't kill them by damaging the brainstem, don't try to fight them. They won't feel a thing.
Don't fight them!
Defect: Easily distracted
Cause: Lose of the posterior parietal cortices has lead to a difficulty for zombies to coordinate hand-eye movements, an inability to visually fixate, and an inability to perceive more than one object at a time. Take advantage of their distractibility!
Distract them!
Defect: Misconceptions
Cause: Zombies appear to exhibit a form of Capgras delusion. If the zombie's ataxia isn't enough to allow you to outrun it, you may wish to act like a zombie until you can escape. Mimicking in-group zombie behaviors may buy you critical moments!
Mimick them!
