Orientation working memory is an important component of human visual-spatial behavior, allowing to save the relevant information. In our experiments in 33 healthy subjects with normal vision, the role of low-level sensory and high-level prefrontal cortex areas in the comparison of the current and retained orientations was investigated. This operation is crucial for detecting changes and forming rapid adaptation reactions. The stimuli were rectangular grids of vertical, horizontal and 45 deg. orientations. It was found that informative indicators of mismatch of two successive orientations are a significant increase of the early P100/N150 components of visual evoked potential in the early visual cortex and an increase of the negativity N240 in the prefrontal region. These changes were accompanied by increased activity of the prefrontal cortex structures: middle frontal gyrus, frontal pole, pars orbitalis. Thus, the mismatch of the current signal and the information retained in the memory is detected by the joint participation of the visual neural network of the caudal cortex areas and the network of the executive control of the prefrontal area, which includes this information in the goal-directed behavior. The findings emphasize the importance of the close interaction of the sensory and prefrontal areas in the visual working memory.
