I think you are agreeing with his overall statement, that consciousness is not made of something beyond nature, but is of nature.
He just made the claim that the natural basis of consciousness is not limited to neurons, even though it might be predominated by them.
He is trying to say there are other natural places we can search for the components of consciousness without having to resort to the false convenience of some flavor of dualism, whether Cartesian or Chalmersian(?).
