Another would be (from resident evil) "the need to feed"
If only the most basic of functions are reanimated, why wouldn't zombies feed on eachother? In nature, every animal when hungry, scavenger or not, will feed on dead flesh. A zombie with only "basic functions" isn't going to have any idea what flesh is infected and what is not.

How about energy? Going through all these biology classes is teaching me something: to live, our bodies need to produce ATP energy (in fact, a teacher commented that a lazy doctor could list any 'cause of death' as 'lack of ATP'). Our bodies produce ATP from a combination of respiration and digestion of food, yet zombie stories have shown zombies still going, long after they haven't eaten anything for months.
