Manslaughter and neglient homicide are interchangeable terms. Depending on the statute of the jurisdiction where the case is tried, one or the other is used. Whatever one calls it, it is always a lesser included charge under first or second degree murder. Manslaughter means the death of an individual the defendant did nor mean to kill. His actions were not premeditatated, and he may not have even had a weapon. Something he did either recklessly or foolishly caused the death of someone else.
Although the terms mean the same, the phrase "negligent homicide" is often used to describe for example, the actions of owners of buildings that are in disrepair. If their failure to follow fire and safety codes leads to fatalities of employees, residents or members of work crews, the owners are generally charged with second degree murder (because there was no premeditation), and negligent homicide, the phase that means exactly what it says.

This is different from homicide based on the perpetrator's state of mind - homicide occurs when someone acts to intentionally cause harm to another. Manslaughter occurs as an incident to an act that is illegal or negligent (e.g. driving under the influence, reckless driving) but not an act that is meant to cause harm. Therefore intentionally running someone over is not manslaughter, even though it did occur with a vehicle.
