Morphology
The meaning is transparently built from 'brain' (the organ controlling thought) and 'behavior' (observable actions), so a learner can infer it refers to behaviors related to or produced by the brain or the brain–behavior relationship. Noun–noun composition to indicate the domain or relationship is common and predictable cross‑linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily grasp the intended sense.
Etymology
Brain behavior gives a simple picture: the brain is like a control room and behavior is the actions you can see. So, 'brain behavior' means the link between brain activity and the visible actions people do.
