Biological analogy for boosting and inhibition idea in Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) I've just watched the 9th episode of HTM school about the "boosting" and "inhibition" ideas. However, I couldn't find the neuroscience counterpart of these terms and concepts. Since HTM is a biologically-constrained theory, the "boosting" and "inhibition" concepts must have a neuroscience counterpart. What are they?

The video also discusses homeostasis and homeostatic regulation of neuronal excitability. Do these concepts have something to do with "boosting" and "inhibition"?
After doing some research, I found that "boosting" and "inhibition", in the context of HTM, are Numenta's implementation of homeostasis.
