This implies that some parts of your brain lead to you being conscious, while others don't.

It at least implies that some processes lead to you being conscious, while others don't. The same brain region could be involved in both conscious and unconscious processes.

Even many of the same processes might sometimes lead to you being conscious and sometimes not. (the difference might involve the level of communication between different parts of the brain, which could be influenced by all sorts of things)

Fair point, corrected.
