Morphology

brain + fluid + circulation

This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase: 'brain' + 'fluid' specifies what kind of fluid and 'circulation' denotes movement, so the meaning 'movement of fluid in/around the brain' is directly derivable from the constituents. While the topic is somewhat technical (e.g., cerebrospinal fluid), a B1 learner who knows 'brain', 'fluid', and 'circulation' can infer the general meaning.

Etymology

Brain fluid circulation paints a simple picture of fluid flowing through and around the brain in a steady circulation, like tiny rivers carrying away waste. So it means the 'movement of fluid' that helps clean and protect the brain.
