Morphology
The meaning is directly compositionally derived: 'prefrontal' denotes the region in front of the frontal area and 'lobe' denotes a rounded part of an organ, so together they clearly indicate the front part of the frontal lobe. This anatomical compounding follows regular patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should understand it.
Etymology
The noun prefrontal lobe names the front part of the brain. The word joins prefrontal ('in front') and lobe ('part'), so imagine the brain's front section that helps with 'planning', 'self-control', and 'making decisions'.
