No one really knows what the differences are between the brain of a psychopath (which I assume is what your talking about when you say "mad") and a "normal" person's. I have seen studies using fMRI that seem to show some differences, mostly in the prefrontal cortex. Researchers believe that the prefrontal cortex is where complex decision making and deep emotional connections are made. A psychopath may have less activity in this area of the brain and as a result not feel the level of empathy that a "normal" person might have. This is usually among the key defining characteristics of a psychopath or someone with anti-social personality disorder...a lack of empathy.
Even with some of these observed differences though, we do not have causality. I think that the more interesting question once establishing actual differences in brain activity would be if whether those differences caused psychopathic behaviors/thoughts or whether psychopathic behaviors/thoughts caused brain differences?
