Do subconscious and conscious processes utilize different neurons?

By “subconscious”, I basically mean processes in the brain, which the individual is not aware of (more detail on the function, here; Subconscious Subjection). By “conscious”, I basically mean processes involving data which the person is aware of (more detail on the function, here; Conscious Comprehension). 

It seems as though both processes influence the other, but whether they use the same neurons and pathways for saving and accessing memories, would be another question. What should be relevant for determining if they use the same neural data, would be whether or not 1 process, accesses the same data of the other. In a post from last month; Conscious Subconscious Memory Access, I explored why it seems difficult for someone to consciously access memory data which was saved subconsciously. Since a lot of data which is saved subconsciously, is less accurate than consciously saved data, because of a lack of focus on detail, the subconscious data seems to be saved utilizing mostly different neural combinations (to represent memories). But data which is saved consciously, using focus on detail and connections between factors, does seem to be easily accessible for the subconscious (as I tried to further explain in a later post from last month; Subconscious Conscious-Memory Access). 

This suggests that the process of subconsciousness does use the same neurological areas as consciousness. The key seems to be that the neural combo data must be saved consciously, for either process to use it. This could make sense, since memory data which is saved subconsciously is less accurate in detail of sensory perception measurement. It's almost like, when the subconscious records something, it is a blurry picture, with fewer pixels of detail. But when someone consciously saves something in memory, it’s an HD picture, with a lot more pixels and detail. The more detailed memories, saved consciously, would make sense for effectiveness, as a high priority for ease of neural access (whether being accessed consciously or subconsciously). 

Perhaps blurry subconscious data is less likely to be accessed, because it will have a less accurate match. Data which is saved consciously, has more accurate sensory measurements, and distinguishes separate factors more accurately. Since factors are more distinguished, being represented in memory by a neurological combination, those factors are more likely to be recognized accurately. Once they are more effectively recognized by sensory perception, the more accurate neural combo is more likely to be accessed repeatedly. The more times a neural combo is accessed, the easier it is to be accessed in the future. More accurate recognition of memory, could explain why consciously saved data is easier to access.

Consciously saved memory data seems to be more likely to be accessed than subconsciously saved data, but both processes seem to access the same consciously saved data, and Neuronic Territory.
