LTP is a wonderful thing. Your brain grew that network before and now it is fading away. The only thing stopping you from replicating it is the missing medium a

  It's been a while since my various neuroscience lectures/courses, but as far as I remember LTP only refers to the process of strengthening existing synaptic connections, not the forming of new ones. The process of forming new connections is called synaptogenesis. That's just nit-picking about terms though, it is clear enough what you mean - except that growing the exact same network still doesn't give you the exact same synaptic strengths of each connection. And I don't know what you mean by replicating the existing network - do you mean a technique to recreate the exact same neural network? But even if you manage to do that, where are the boundaries, how do you know which connections matter and where do you stop? I probably don't understand your plan though.
