Yes, psychopathy can be seen in brain scans.

What makes you think they did this to themselves? How is that even physically possible? Why isn’t such a hypothesis mentioned anywhere in psychology?

Could have happened after abusive childhood or for a number of causes.  Not to say they always deliberately brought this upon themselves.
