"Reptilians used revivified bodies and put reptile brains in them (reptilians eat humans so it's onlt naturally the a reanimated human body is undead and that it would eat human flesh) and then release them into the world casuing zombies"

Nostradamus "Century 10, Quatrain 74

The year the great seventh number is accomplished,
Appearing at the time of the great games of slaughter:
Not far from the age of the great millennium,
When the dead will come out of their graves"

The Bible "In the last days the dead will walk"

If you think about it the nervous system can possibily run on it's own all it needs is a little bit of electricity.
Think of it like a robot only a bological robot maybe Zombies are just going to be a walking form of nevres that can't think but then the 5 senses are connected to the brain and yet when you smash the zombies head they die. So I'm guessing it might b e some brain function after death or some type of freak of naturre thing. My brother always said it's near impossibly for the brain to function after death oh I'm sorry is impossible for it the function after death.

I'm no scientist so correct me if I'm wrong it's only a theory.

The nervous system needs quite a bit more than electricity. The bioelectrical mechanism by which it operates is really nothing like the kind of electricity you're used to in your everyday life. instead of moving charges down conductors, nerves build up and dump ions, and the structures that pour out the ions are sensitive to the ion gradient, so it forms a kind of a chain reaction called an action potential. now zapping nerves with regular electricity does stimulate them, but that's about it. And if the body isn't alive, the nerves can only be stimulated once (or not at all, depending on just how dead the body is)

Nerves also need adenosine triphosphate, which means they need glucose and oxygen. Glucose they can get from digesting the flesh of the living, I guess, but oxygen means they need functioning lungs. Nerves need a stable exterior fluid environment, which means they need a good amount of blood, which means they need a working heart and no major holes. They also need a working liver and at least one kidney, to keep the nerves from poisoning themselves.

It should be noted that a steady diet of the brains of the living will cause Cruzfeldt Jakob's disease, leading to the degeneration of the zombie's remaining neurons, rendering it a quivering useless heap, but then again, I don't think zombies are supposed to be particularly long lived.

to move, a zombie needs a stable bone and musculature, the latter of which requires just about everything nerves do. Muscles can store energy in myoglobin, but only enough for 30 seconds or so.

Frankly, the only plausible zombies are the kind you find in voodoo; people who have been "killed", and shortly thereafter resuscitated before they have a chance to actually degrade at all. Usually leaving them the same person, at worst causing some brain damage. Whereafter they are forced to work for the person who (secretly) did it to them, and then resuscitated them.

a'course, you could someday have technological robot zombies at any stage of degeneration, but anything more messed up than a fresh victim of heart disease or stroke would probably have to just be turned into a robot meat puppet using the person's bones for support, and not much else.

Essentially, your sources aren't exactly reliable, and we haven't ever seen much of the "walking dead, brain eating, contagious type" zombie, ever, except in Hollywood movies. Unless it was some kind of supernatural thing, a zombie has to pretty much be a living being. All the systems needed to walk around eating the brains of the living pretty much require all the other systems of the body to be in decent working order. After all, there's a good reason why people die in the first place.

Also: I'm pretty sure the video with the dogs turned out to be a propaganda hoax done by the USSR, to make it look like their biological sciences departments were actually making important discoveries. Stalin's purges and Lysenko's backwards Lamarkist policies put soviet biological science, once among the finest in the world, back over a hundred years, while less political sciences, like physics, thrived.
