Are the Homunculus of Alchemy related to Tulpas?

[Nimrod33]

Many of you may have discovered the term "homunculus" (like myself as well) via the Full Metal Alchemist manga and anime series. As i have read from some sources, it is represented as a man in a bottle and is usually portrayed as an attempt to create other humans by humans themselves. Are they actually thoughtforms like Tulpas?

I think homuculus is a codeword for thoughtforms/egregore just like how metals are codeword for chakras.
