Morphology
area + seventeen + of + Brodmann
The phrase is compositionally clear as a numbered anatomical region named by Brodmann (area 17), so a learner who knows 'area' and the number and recognises 'Brodmann' as a proper name can infer it refers to a specific part of the brain. However, the detailed functional meaning ('primary visual receiving area, processing input from the optic radiation') is specialized knowledge not derivable from the constituents alone, making the expression only partially predictable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Area 17 of Brodmann gets its name from the scientist Korbinian Brodmann, who numbered parts of the brain after looking at how their cells looked under a microscope. He gave the main part that first receives signals from the eyes the number area 17, so today area 17 of Brodmann means the brain's main 'visual' area.
